Remember Your Trace: Memory-Guided Long-Horizon Agentic Framework for Consistent and Hierarchical Repository-Level Code Documentation

Changkyu Choi, Jaehoon Lee, Jee-Hyong Lee, Suyoung Bae, YunSeok Choi

MemDocAgent generates consistent hierarchical documentation for entire repositories by planning dependency order and consulting a shared memory of prior work traces.

✓ Portable graph bundle live · download bundle · merged state

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

MemDocAgent achieves the best performance over both open and closed-source baselines and demonstrates practical applicability in real software development workflows.

C2weakest assumption

That the Dependency-Aware Traversal Guiding and interactions with RepoMemory will reliably produce consistent and hierarchical documentation without introducing new conflicts or requiring extensive manual correction.

C3one line summary

MemDocAgent generates consistent hierarchical repository-level code documentation by combining dependency-aware traversal with memory-guided agent interactions that accumulate work traces.
